With nuclear apocalypse looming over the world, several vaults were constructed to contain the best and brightest of humanity. By being shielded from the imminent death, the offspring of these people could reclaim and repopulate the Earth. However, before the entire network could be completed, nuclear war broke out. One of the vaults became militaristic and technology-driven. Using their superior weapons, they were able to claim the surrounding wasteland. The members of this vault formed the Brotherhood of Steel, an organization dedicated to unlocking new and better technologies.

Fallout Tactics is an incredible game that focusses on tactical combat set in the Fallout Universe. The engine used in this game is incredibly beautiful with a depth of combat that is unmatched by many games in the genre (except for Jagged Alliance 2). The atmosphere of the game is brilliant and captures both the Fallout "vibe" as well as the feeling of being part of the Brotherhood of Steel perfectly. The progression systems, combat options, tactical encounters and usage of the SPECIAL system are well-created.
The only major drawback of Fallout Tactics is that RPG mechanics take a backseat and the C of SPECIAL (i.e. Charisma) for example is seldom used, but at the same time there are actual story choices that have a large impact on the outcome of the game. Just don't expect to talk your way out of encounters.
Overall, Fallout Tactics is a very underrated game (compared to the first two) and absolutely deserves your attention if you love the first two games. It is a true Tactics game brilliantly adapted for the Fallout Universe and using 90% of everything that makes Fallout unique.
Honestly, despite lacking any and all RPG, this is a fantastic game, its just absurdly strange how it lacks co-op multiplayer, which would have easily made it the best classic fallout.
Best of the Fallout Oldies in my opinion. Shame and odd it is not considered canon lore :/
Fun tactical stategy game, very challenging in later levels.
Very different from traditional Fallout titles, strips out everything but combat essentially. Still a good game
Excellent game overall, remember it when I was younger. If you're into tactical styled games, this one is worth at least looking up!
great tactic/rpg game i ever play and one of the best game of Fallut universum
